# Participant Information

Workshop participants are encouraged to sign up to Open AI's DALLE-2 - <https://openai.com/product/dall-e-2>

It is a free programme which requires a account and you will receive 30 free credits. Please keep these credits available to use within the workshop.

If you have prior experience to using other text-to-image generators such as Midjourney, you are welcome to use this within the workshop instead of DALLE-2 if you would prefer.&#x20;

**Sound Generation**&#x20;

For Part 2 of the workshop, attendees will be encouraged to create a short audio or MIDI composition to imagine how their instruments invention(s) would sound like if brought to the physical world. Therefore, please bring a computer with you if you have one available to you with a DAW of your choice installed. If you do not have access to a computer, please let the workshop facilitator know and we will provide one for you.&#x20;

Please also bring a pair of headphones with you to the workshop to work on the compostion part of this workshop.
